Didn't fit

I didn't really do much research on the 28H Emily prior to purchasing via Zulily not long ago, but I suppose I should have.

See, I wear a 28H in the Romance, and even though I'm between 28H and 30GG right now (preferring either loose 28s or tight 30s, since my underbust is 29"), I figured it'd probably have a stretchy enough band since I can still wear the Romance.

The band is a bit tight. I apparently have one that was made properly (I say 'properly' because 28's should only stretch to 28," but CK is known for much stretchier bands) because the system noticed that the band only stretches to 28." Now, it technically *can* stretch a bit further, but I don't like to include extra stretch measurements if it means that the bra is warping. I can fasten it just fine with my 29" underbust, but it starts to warp the wires, so I don't really count it as stretching to 29."

The real problem though, is the cup. I should have been fine in the H because my Romance still fits me in the cup just fine (I did check prior to ordering the single H cup), but the cup is in fact too small. It doesn't matter too much to me since it's not really noticeable through clothing, but it is annoying. I really only bought this one (I actually bought two of them) for dying purposes, because I am dying (ha, see what I did there?) for some jewel toned bras, and people aren't really making them. My plans for these two stark white Emily's are ruby red and forrest green. My next white bra will be a nice aubergine color (think ModCloth's I Love Your Dress in Plum).

So, all in all, it's pretty now, but will be prettier when I get through with it. Comfort level is really just meh, since it's too small, but no big deal. It'll do.

UPDATE 8/4: Okay so I just realized how horrible the shape is for me! Wow. Thanks, photos! Glad I didn't pay much for these cause they're kind of awful on me, and the wires are far, far too wide.
This bra is not owned any more
